[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 222554, member: 16749"] The process may be different with your D90, but on my D3200, it goes something like this: [list][*]Set the main mode dial to one of the PSAM modes. [*]Under the shooting menu, go to “White balance”. [*] Go to the bottommost item in the “White balance” menu, which is “PRE Preset manual”. [*] Go deeper into that menu, where you will see that it gives you the options “Measure” or “Use photo”. [*] Select “Measure”. Confirm that yes, you do want to override the previous setting. [*] Now, point the camera at something that is neutral in color, and is illuminated by the light for which you are trying to compensate.[/list] At this point, the “PRE Preset manual” setting under white balance will be set to compensate for the light that was relevant in that last step above. The PSAM modes will be set to use that white balance, while the other modes will not, but this will also be one of the white balance options available to use in NEF/RAW processing. The “Use photo” option mentioned above, instead of “Measure”, will allow you to use a previously-taken, uncorrected photograph of a color-neutral scene to set the PRE setting to compensate for the lighting used in that scene.
